Executive Summary

Before the 2006/2007 year, the A.A. S. program was part of the Internet Technologies curriculum referred to as the Internet Technologies Web Page Development Track. Because much of the data collected for the program was combined with Information Systems before the 2006/2007 year, the data for this review concentrated on the years 2006/2007 to date.

Section One: Program Profile

The Web Technologies program is a two-year A.A.S. program with open enrollment. Graduates should qualify for career opportunities as designers, administrators, or developers in the areas of web applications, websites, web services, and related areas of distributed computing. The student population has an average age of 35 and is diverse in culture with an approximate 60:40 ratio of male to female students. Currently there are two full-time Web Technologies instructors, a program Co-coordinator, and one regularly utilized adjunct instructor.

Resources such as library materials, classroom and lab facilities are more than adequate.

Although there are 5 members of the Advisory Board, it is desired to increase the membership.

Section Two: The Program

Course work in this 71 hour program covers the terminology and use of computers, network devices, networks, servers, databases, applications, programming languages, as well as web applications, site development and design. Beginning Fall 2008, a variety of modalities were made available to fulfill our students’ needs. Of the courses taught, approximately 70.8% are offered online to meet student needs, 8.5% are offered using the Hybrid model with the remaining 21% offered as traditional seats classes.

Course prerequisites and sequencing have been evaluated and changed to aid in student success and course completion. The NC Community College System Office made extensive changes to this program in spring 2006. Prior to spring 2006, the program was called "Internet Technologies" and 75 courses changed names.

This is a technology based program which needs updated equipment and software to adequately prepare the students to work in a constantly changing and diverse field. The funding to include “cutting edge” technological advances is falling behind and needs to be addressed in the near future.

Section Three: Outcomes

For the two Administrative Outcomes and Program Outcomes defined for this review, a common fact regarding data was determined. Due to the fact that the amount of data

5/9/2023 3

collected regarding faculty was insufficient and due to the variety of the ways that student data is collected and stored within our college system, the data was difficult to collect and analyze. It has been determined that data should be collected for more than one semester to evaluate our faculty, and also, a system from within the program needs to be created in order to accurately determine who our active students are and who and how many actually graduate.

Only one of the Program Learning Level Outcomes defined for this review met its target benchmark. A few minor changes to course content will be made to improve the outcomes in the future.

Section Four: Need for Change

Analysis of Outcomes and SWOT information determined a need for change in some areas. These are:

It is recommended that the Web Technologies program offer more in-depth programming languages.

Increase the student use of style sheets in website creations. Since graphic animation is taught in the WEB 120 Internet Multimedia course, it

should not be covered or evaluated in WEB 140. There will be additional emphasis concerning the use of style sheets in the WEB140

courses. Increase enrollment in the Web Technologies Program Insure that the Program stays current on Industry Standards

Section Five: Future Issues

No major changes to the program of study are necessary. The Web Technologies program stays up-to-date with current market trends by enhancing course topics already presented.

It is determined that Faculty training is the most significant need. Due to the diverse set of skills needed to keep up with the trends and technology continuous training is needed. The Web Technologies program intends to stay atop of current web trends and upgrade faculty skill sets to match these trends.

There are no specific future equipment needs (except for the program’s constant need to update computer systems to keep up with software minimum requirements). The facilities and space are adequate for our course needs.

The program intends to promote Web Technologies courses for Dual-Enrollment more aggressively to all area high schools.

6. Budget For FY 2009, Web Technologies was granted $4,035 to be spent towards

'Other Costs' budget items. This number was reduced due to the reversion of funds back to the State, and a freeze placed on all accounts until further notice. As of the end of December 2008 about $1,500 had actually been spent.

E. General

1. Specific industries or businesses served by the program.

Graduates from the CCC Web Technologies Program are currently employed at:

a) Fleet Readiness Center East (formerly NADEP) at Cherry Point, NC b) Self employed c) NC Coast which is a media company located in Atlantic Beach, NC d) Food Lion- this student is pursuing a 4 year degree from East Carolina University. This will result in a B.S. in Industrial Technology with a concentration in Computer Information Technology.

5/9/2023 18



2. Institutions to which your current students transfer.

Currently, our students cannot transfer their credits earned in the web courses. Eng 111, Eng 114, CIS 110, Humanities elective and Social Science

elective are transferrable. An effort will begin in the Spring of 2009 to renew and revise an articulation agreement with East Carolina University and/or at least one university.

3. Significant developments since the last evaluation.

This is our first evaluation so there hasn’t been any significant developments since the last evaluation. The following are some significant

development since the inception of the program in 1999:a. Julia Hamilton, the first curriculum coordinator, stepped down in

2002. Shannon Cotnam replaced Julia Hamilton in 2002 and stepped down in 2007. Tom Edwards has been the curriculum coordinator since 2007.

b. XHTML has replaced HTML as the markup language of choice for web pages.

c. CSS has replaced HTML as the language used to create style elements for web pages.

d. The use of dynamic web pages driven by PHP, ASP and ColdFusion continue to grow.

e. Dreamweaver, the leading software company for web development tools, was purchased by Adobe.

F. Analysis

1. Review of program goals and objectives:

The Business Technologies Division collectively discuss and write yearly goals and objectives and align them to the Institution Goals. For 2008-2009 the following is a list of our Objectives and includes which Institution Goal in which they are aligned.

Objective One: Ensure that Business Technologies students are prepared for technology use in the classroom.Institutional Goal #4: We will find more effective ways to advise students about

5/9/2023 19

courses, programs, and careers, including ways to better match students’ abilities with demands and expectations.

Objective Two: To better prepare students for real-life challenges through beneficial workshops.Institutional Goal #2: We will find more effective ways to connect with all of our students and increase their desire and ability to continue learning.

Objective Three: Establish positive relationships with business technologies students.Institutional Goal #2: We will find more effective ways to connect with all of our students and increase their desire and ability to continue learning.

Objective Four: Remain cutting-edge in technology.Institutional Goal #17: The College will enhance access and use of technology throughout the College.

Objective Five: To provide instruction of equal quality for online, hybrid, web enhanced and traditional courses.Institutional Goal #8: We will improve the quality of the learning that takes place, as measured by learning outcomes, and find ways for more students to reach the higher standards that are set.

Objective Six: To stay abreast of new and innovative technologies as they pertain to each Business Technologies programs of study.Institutional Goal #10: The College will explore new academic programs and projects suitable for our changing workforce.

The committee has reviewed the program goals and objectives and they support the CCC mission, are consistent with the expectations of the community served, the purpose of the program as stated in the catalog and match the Institutional Level Learning Outcomes at CCC.

In addition to working with the Division on these objectives, the Web Technologies program has the program goals as listed on page 2 of this Program Review. 2. Review of Student Demographics and needs:

Beginning 2004/2005 there has been a steady decrease in enrollment. The 3 year average in 04/05 was 66 students and as of 06/07 the 3 year average was 45.7 students. Fall 2007 began with 14 students, there were 15 in the spring and 7 during the summer session. Fall 2008 started again with 14 students and saw an increase to 19 for spring 2009. These numbers parallel the decrease in enrollment for the school in general.

5/9/2023 20

The statistics gathered on student demographics, courses, and instructors show only that individual semesters and courses have their own dynamics and results seemingly unrelated to on-line vs. seat or time of year or instructor. It is unproductive to even try to use and compare statistics when your samples are so small.

3. Faculty needs

In order to keep up technological trends and software updates, it has been determined that the Faculty need more Professional Development opportunities. These may include specialized hands-on training or possibly “back-to-industry” training (if available in the area). Most of the hands-on training requires travel to larger cities such as Charlotte, Raleigh, or even out of state such as Atlanta. Unfortunately, budget constraints limit the amount of proper Professional Development opportunities our faculty can acquire.

4. Advisory Committee needs

It is desired to increase the number of Advisory Committee members, however, there is limited availability of people in this county/area qualified to meet the needs and standards of such committee.

5. Student Graduates

Data was collected between Fall 2005 and Summer 2008 for the 31 Web Technology specific courses taught. These courses were CIS172, ITN110, ITN120, ITN140, ITn150, ITN160, ITN170, ITN180, ITN210, ITN220, ITn240, ITN 250, ITN280, SEC110, WEB110, WEB111, WEB115, WEB120, WEB140, WEB210, and WEB211. This did not include Dual-Enrollment courses. The average withdrawal rate of these 31 courses is only 21.70 % .

According to Retention Rate data, for the year 2006-07 there were 26 students listed as enrolled in the program for the Fall 2006 semester. Of these, 5 graduated during the 2006-07 academic year, 7 were returning students, 2 changed programs, and 12 were non-completers. There was a 53.8% current retention rate which is defined as the number of students who returned to a curriculum program in fall 2007 divided by fall 2006 enrollment.

According to Retention Rate data, for the year 2007-08 there were 14 students listed as enrolled in the program for the Fall 2007 semester. Of these, there were zero graduates during the 2007-08 academic year, 8 were returning students, 2 changed programs, and 4 were non-completers. There was a 71.4% current retention rate which is defined as the number of students who returned to a curriculum program in fall 2008 divided by fall 2007 enrollment.

Section Two: Program Content

A. Definition of Program

The Web Technologies curriculum prepares graduates for careers in the information technology arena using computers and distributed computing to disseminate and collect information via the web.

Course work in this program covers the terminology and use of computers, network devices, networks, servers, databases, applications, programming languages, as well as web applications, site development and design. Studies will provide opportunity for students to learn related industry standards. Graduates should qualify for career opportunities as designers, administrators, or developers in the areas of web applications, websites, web services, and related areas of distributed computing.

The program has an open door policy to all students. Many courses contain prerequisites or co-requisites of prior Web Technologies courses. Students must pass a Keyboarding and Computer Literacy placement test in order to take CIS110-Introduction to Computers, which is required as a prerequisite to other coursework.

Distance Learning Courses Available

On the current 2008/2009 Web Technologies checksheet, 17 (or 70.8%) out of 24 courses are offered fully online. Only CIS115, NET110, WEB250 and NOS110 are traditional seated classes with a small online component, and DBA110and WEB182 are both Hybrid (majority of the instruction is online). The final course, WEB289 is largely independent study.

Broken down by contact hours instead of courses, this translates into 50 out of 71 hours, or 70.4% of fully online instruction is possible. An additional 8.5% (6 credit hours) is offered using the Hybrid model with the remaining 21% (15 credit hours) being traditional seats classes

C. External Accreditation (Non-applicable)

D. Innovations and diversity applied in curriculum The WEB program underwent a statewide Curriculum Improvement Project 2004-2005 with approved changes implemented for Spring 2006. This CIP was done in cooperation with all IT programs across the state. The CIP project team worked in conjunction with consultants from the National Skills Standards Board to establish outcomes and develop courses that would address those outcomes. No major program changes have taken place since that time.

E. Testing and remedial courseworkCurrently there are no selective criteria for program admission. Students take the placement tests during the admissions process (reading, math, algebra, keyboarding, and computer literacy) and they may begin the program immediately. There are courses that require pre-requisites of adequate proficiency in all of those areas prior to taking those courses. For example, CIS 110 (which is one of the first core classes for the program) cannot be taken until a student shows proficiency of ENG 095, MAT 060, OST 080, and CIS 070. Students who do not place out of these courses must complete them before enrolling in that course. Struggling students have access to the Academic Support lab and Academic Computer lab for extra help with coursework.

F. Evaluate Instructional Modalities

Prior to Fall 2008, all WEB courses were taught online with no other educational modalities offered. This was due to the fact that there was a limited number of students.

5/9/2023 24

Also, the majority of students requested that classes be offered online to accommodate their work schedules.

Beginning Fall 2008, a variety of modalities were made available to fulfill our students’ needs. This included an instructor (Brad Nicolajsen) offering a course as either a hybrid or online (student’s choice) but only counting as one class for the faculty load. This was done if the course did not have the minimum enrollment. This offered flexibility for our students by letting them come to class for one-on-one instructor assistance if needed, but also it did not penalize students that did not want to or could not come to campus.

G. Funding for curricular changes or offerings

Currently Adobe Creative Suite 3 (CS3) is being run strictly from the Citrix Server. this suite includes Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Flash applications. Courses that use this software include WEB111, WEB120, and WEB 140. There have been no funds to purchase enough licenses to install the software locally. This software is needed for the High School courses taught at Cape Lookout High School, in our academic computer lab for student access, and in at least one classroom per semester plus licenses for each instructor station. There have been some technical issues with codecs and scripts not running because the software is not totally compatible with the Citrix Server.

Adobe Creative Suite 4 (CS4) is now on the market and there are no funds to update to this newer version of the software. The computers at Cape Lookout High School are approximately 6-7 years old and do not have the memory or processor capability of locally running any of the CS3 or CS4 software. There is only 1 classroom in the CCC Wayne West building that have computers capable of running the software. Also note that the academic computer lab is not capable of running the software either. There is also an issue with the current network bandwidth not being sufficient at CLHS to efficiently support running this software via the Internet.

H. Analysis

Course prerequisites and sequencing have been evaluated and changed to aid in student success and course completion. The effect of changing technology is that courses become outdated and must be phased out. The courses change quite often before the student can finish the program. Therefore, course substitutions must be done to replace courses that no longer exist. This makes it very confusing for the student to know which course to take and often take courses they don’t need. Adding to this confusion, the NC Community College System Office made extensive changes to this program in spring 2006. Prior to spring 2006, the program was called "Internet Technologies" and 75 courses changed names (see attached crosswalk). Also the numerous changes result in low enrollment in

5/9/2023 25

courses causing them to be cancelled and the students drop out or go to other community colleges in Craven or Coastal Community College.

Another factor affecting Web Technologies, is that the number of Huskins courses being offered through the high schools have been cut in half. Prior to fall 2005, 325 Huskins students were enrolled in CIS/WEB courses. From fall 2005 through fall 2008, only 158 Huskins students were enrolled in these classes.

Prior to fall 2005, eight Huskins students went on to enroll in Internet Technologies. After fall 2005, only one Huskins student has enrolled in Web Technologies.

Likewise, Computer Information Technology has been affected. Eight Huskins students enrolled in Information systems prior to fall 2005. Only two Huskins students have enrolled in Computer Information Technology.

The two programs are similar and a student may enter into CIS but then change his major to Web Tech.

Currently we still offer Huskin’s courses at Cape Lookout High School only, which works well for them because they do not have high school business instructors teaching similar courses. Also, this works well for Cape Lookout High School because the 2 major courses taught (1-Introduction to Web Graphics and 2- Internet Multimedia) are offered as completer courses for the high school graduation tracks.

Another reason the demand for computer courses at the high schools dropped are: a) it was perceived that our instructors were in direct competition with the high school business instructors. Also the last 3 or 4 years there was a high turnover of Huskin’s instructors so our courses were not marketed as well as when one instructor stayed at a high school for multiple years. We need to improve communication with the high schools to increase enrollment in these classes.

This is a technology based program which needs updated equipment and software to adequately prepare the students to work in a constantly changing and diverse field. The funding to include “cutting edge” technological advances is falling behind and needs to be addressed in the near future.

Anecdotally it appears that programming courses are a difficulty for some students. We lose some students due to the fact that the Web Tech curriculum is a computer programming intensive program of study.

5/9/2023 26

Job opportunities in Carteret County are competitive due to lack of Web Design and Web Development positions. A lot of student success comes from their ability to obtain freelance contracts. The current program focuses on teaching Web Design and Development skills and there is not a lot of focus on teaching how to develop relationships with clients and manage a student’s own business.

Section Three: Outcomes

A. Process of Identifying Outcomes

The instructors within the Web Technologies program, the Curriculum Area Coordinator, and the Business Technologies Division Director all take part in developing proposed outcomes. These are determined by considering input from Advisory Board meetings as well as course syllabi. Advisory committee members include program graduates as well as community members which represent Web Technology based employers.

B. Administrative Outcomes and Results of Measures

What is being measured:

Web Technology instructors are effective in teaching program courses. (Program courses are defined as: CIS, DBA NET, NOS, SEC, WEB)

How it is being measured (What assessment is used to measure progress of the outcomes):

This will be assessed by the student Course Evaluation question "Is this instructor effective in teaching this course?"

What constitutes success of the outcomes (benchmarks)

The target benchmark is that each instructor will have an overall mean score of 4.00 on their course evaluations.

When it is being measured:

At the end of Fall semester

Results of assessments:

Student evaluations revealed for the 2007/2008 school year, 7 of 8 instructors met the overall mean score of 4.00 on their course evaluations.

5/9/2023 27

Use of results:

In the 2007/2008 evaluation, the instructor that did not meet the mean score was based on a class population of 5 students, 2 scoring a 5.0, and 2 scoring a 4.0. There was one student who gave a score of 1.0. There is not enough population for this class to determine a true score, nor were there any additional classes that were evaluated for this instructor. Therefore, additional data for the 2008/2009 year will be collected for a comparison for each instructor’s classes.


Students entering Web Technologies Program will successfully complete the program.


This will be assessed by retention rate data.


The target benchmark is that 80% of students who have completed at least 15 hours of their program of study will complete the program.


Beginning of Spring semester each year at 10% point


Due to the variety of the ways that student data is collected and stored within our college system, the data was difficult to collect and analyze. There were numerous inconsistencies within the data for the same query but from different sources.

Use of results:

It has been determined that a system from within the program needs to be created in order to accurately determine who our active students are (retention) and who and how many actually graduate.

C. Program Level Learning Outcomes

5/9/2023 28


Students will learn to design and develop complex web sites.


This will be assessed by the final exam/project in WEB140. This exam consists of hands-on skills in the following areas: Web Page creation, use of Cascading Style Sheets, use of Javascript, use of web hosting, use of animation, use of Rich Media components.


The target benchmark is that students receive 85% in all areas.


At the end of the semester course taught.


Results from the WEB140 final exam project indicated that animation in Dreamweaver, web hosting, and use of layers were all below our standard.

Use of results:

It has been determined that in the future animation will be taught using Flash instead. Layering is very important, so we need to stress this more in future classes.


Students will learn to implement and maintain complex web sites, and integrate them with a database.


This will be assessed by Project/exam in WEB250. This exam evaluates skills in the following areas: 1) demonstrate the ability to write server code using PHP to deliver dynamic web pages 2)demonstrate the basic use of SQL using MySQL 3) demonstrate the ability to deliver data from a database to the web 4)demonstrate the ability to design basic content management systems

5/9/2023 29


The target benchmark is that students receive 85% in all areas.


At the end of the semester course taught.


1.Demonstrate the ability to write server code using PHP: Average Score 93.75

2.Demonstrate the basic use of SQL using MySQL:Average Score 95

3.Demonstrate the ability to deliver data from a database to the web: Average Score 89.33

4. Demonstrate the ability to design basic content management system: Average Score 95

Use of results:Determined a need to analyze project complexity and relative student performance to determine future project assignments, textbooks, support materials, and teaching approach.

D. Program Level Outcomes


Web Technology students which are actively seeking employment will be employed in a web technologies related position within one year of graduation.


Graduate Survey


Will be establishing benchmark this year


August of each year


5/9/2023 30

Zero percent of the surveys (all of which were mailed) have not been returned to the college. Phone calls will be made in order to follow up this information.

Use of results:

It has been determined that a system from within the program needs to be created in order to keep up-to-date with the whereabouts of our graduates. A closer program/student relationship needs to be built.


75% of employers who work with any program graduates will state that they are satisfied with student job performance.


Employer Surveys


Average rating of student will be "Good" or above on Employer Survey


August of each year


It was difficult to locate current information of graduates and determine their employers. However, the employers of 4 students were contacted and were presented the Employer Survey questions via telephone. Of the 4 contacted 3 of the students scored at the “Good” and “Excellent” levels, while the remaining student scored between “Fair and “Good”. It should be noted that the “Fair” scores were for responses regarding a) appearance/attitude, b) dependability, c) problem solving/critical thinking skills, and d) being self-directed.

Use of results:

It has been determined that a system from within the program needs to be created in order to build a stronger program/ employer relationship.

E. Follow-up of students served

5/9/2023 31

Feedback is provided from program completers through use of a graduate survey created for the Web Technologies program.

F. Analysis (Use of results to improve program)

Results from the WEB140 final exam project indicated that animation in Dreamweaver, web hosting, and use of layers were all below our standard. This will be resolved in the future by teaching animation using Flash instead. Layering is very important, so we need to stress this more in future classes.

Results from the WEB250 final exam project indicated success in all areas.

1.Demonstrate the ability to write server code using PHP: Average Score 93.752.Demonstrate the basic use of SQL using MySQL:Average Score 95 3.Demonstrate the ability to deliver data from a database to the web: Average Score 89.334. Demonstrate the ability to design basic content management system: Average Score 95 Recommendations for the future include the need to analyze project complexity and relative student performance to determine future project assignments, textbooks, support materials, and teaching approach.

Section Four: Need for Change

A. SWOT Analysis

The following information is based on the compiled notes of the SWOT Analysis which was done at a meeting on September 29, 2008 held at the CCC campus. The complete set of notes is located in the Appendix.

Those in attendance were: Justin Vennard (past student/ graduate)

Greg Wheat (past and present student)Terence Smith (Web Tech faculty)Dean Reed (programmer for Henry’s Tackle/ potential employer)Joseph Croom (facilitator)Jennifer Eyl (observer)

1. One of the program strengths recognized was the fact that the Web Technologies program is teaching more programming skills (PHP, ASP, etc.) than before and we are steering away from relying solely on applications. This was also listed as an opportunity in that if we provide good foundations in (programming) languages now, it helps make it easy for students to continue with new programs. A general weakness mentioned was that some of our instruction is “not in depth like it should be”.

5/9/2023 32

2. Another opportunity suggested was to increase visibility. This could be accomplished by having a student-driven site to showcase what students have learned. This would provide students with an opportunity to gain experience as well as showcase their abilities to possible future employers.

3. Because Carteret County is a remote area, it makes it hard to get jobs regardless of the education. This field is competitive anywhere and students will need to be aware of how competitive the job market is in this area due to the small number of job opportunities. “Students should be aware that they may need to travel to another area to get work in the field.”

4. Although technology is ever changing, the Web Technologies Program uses software programs that are relevant for “what is out there today”.

5. Currently the Web Technologies Program offers courses emphasizing the use of “style sheets”. This was listed as a strength, however, it was suggested that we make sure we are upgrading style sheets for today’s societal needs.

B. Recommendations and strategies for change based on SWOT Analysis

1. After analyzing the SWOT notes, it is recommended that the Web Technologies program offer more in-depth programming languages. One strategy within the Web Technologies program is to concentrate on one language (PHP) in the programming class and to teach this one language in depth. This will be followed by students taking the WEB250 (Database) course which will incorporate multiple skills such as HTML and PHP.

2. The second recommendation based upon the SWOT analysis is to increase the student use of style sheets in website creations. This concern has also been noted in the WEB 140 PLLO assessment and will be addressed below.

3. One strategy implemented in the WEB 140 course was to upgrade from Dreamweaver version 8 to CS3 in order to keep up with the technology. This upgrade also resulted in the change of the course textbook. This new textbook places more emphasis on CSS styles and also concentrates on XHTML.

C. Strategies for change based on assessments

1. Based on the first round of results from the assessment of WEB 140 and the PLLO #1 (Students will learn to design and develop complex web sites) it has been determined that since graphic animation is taught in the WEB 120 Internet Multimedia course, it should not be covered or evaluated in WEB 140.

5/9/2023 33

2. Another recommendation/strategy based on the first round of results from the assessment of WEB 140 and the PLLO #1 (Students will learn to design and develop complex web sites) it has been determined that there will be additional emphasis concerning the use of style sheets in the WEB140 courses.

D. Additional Strategies for change

Increase enrollment in the Web Technologies Program Ensure that the Program stays current on Industry Standards

Section Five: Future Issues

A. Anticipated future curricular changes and needs

No major changes to the program of study are necessary. However, to keep up with trends, there is a need to add WEB220 –Advanced Multimedia with the possibility of making it an additional major elective in the program of study. This will be presented to the CCC Curriculum Review Committee at their March 2009 meeting for approval with the hopes of offering the course beginning in the Spring 2010 semester.

B. Market trends within the program area

The Web Technologies program stays up-to-date with current market trends by enhancing course topics already presented. Future market trends are leaning towards a) web applications for mobile devices, b) “shopping cart software”, and c) database driven websites.

These trends will be addressed in the following classes: a) web applications for mobile devices- WEB 115b) “shopping cart software”- WEB 230c) database driven websites- WEB182, WEB 220, WEB250

C. Equipment, space, and faculty needs for future growth or continuation

There are no specific future equipment needs (except for the program’s constant need to update computer systems to keep up with software minimum requirements). The facilities and space are adequate for our course needs.

It is determined that Faculty training is the most significant need. Due to the diverse set of skills needed to keep up with the trends and technology continuous training is needed. Faculty need to be “cross-trained” as well as learn how to integrate the various phases of Website Design and Development. Possible training activities would include “Return to Industry” as well as industry specific training including computer programming and application use.

5/9/2023 34

D. Future plan

The Web Technologies program intends to stay atop of current web trends and upgrade faculty skill sets to match these trends.

After having discussed Dual-Enrollment possibilities with East Carteret High School and West Carteret High School counselors, the Web Technologies program will plan to move forward with offering courses such as Intro to Programming (CIS115), Visual Basic Programming (CSC 139), and possibly Hardware/Software Support (CTS120) at a time convenient to students from these schools. The program intends to promote Web Technologies courses for Dual-Enrollment more aggressively to all area high schools.

On March 6, 2008, a faculty representative from the Web Technologies Program presented information to the entire student population at Broad Creek Middle School. This presentation was well received by both students and staff of the middle school. The Web Technologies program intends to continue this promotion of our courses to area middle schools in the future. This is intended to provide a continuous awareness of our program to students as they continue their studies into high school and eventually college.

E. Review resources

The Budget needed for the program is the biggest drawback. Faculty need continual training but can not get it due to lack of budget available to attend workshops and seminars offered.

Appendix A: Web Technologies Program SWOT

In attendance: Justin Vennard (past student/ graduate)Greg Wheat (past and present student)Terence Smith (Web Tech faculty)Dean Reed (programmer for Henry’s Tackle/ potential employer)Joseph Croom (facilitator)Jennifer Eyl (observer)

These notes are a compilation of notes submitted by Jennifer Eyl, Joseph Croom (facilitator), and Terence Smith. There may be redundancy, but the goal was capture the three perspectives.Compiled by Don Staub (15 November 2008).

Strengths: Dreamweaver is already taught code based, as suggested it should be Now teaching much more programming (PHP, ASP, ect.) than before; steering away

from too much Microsoft as a crutch Software programs are relevant for “what is out there today” Being able to find and recognize error codes is taught (i.e. write your own code and be

able to de-bug it) This could also be an opportunity

Flexibility of on-line courses. Much better now than before, especially with Blackboard. Online v/s Seated

o Learn at their own paceo Scheduling for seated classes is a drawbacko Online discussion boards allowing students to chat is great

Basics of style sheets

Weaknesses: Previous program to 2005 not sufficient Limited course offerings is frustrating Teaches some basic skills for the workforce, but not enough Most businesses want experience, but you aren’t able to get experience Instruction is not in depth like it should be Need more troubleshooting classes/experience

Opportunities: Offer more certification classes in specific programs like MSCE Microsoft Certified

Engineer, Cisco Engineer, Prometric and others More emphasis on trouble-shooting/de-bugging skills Could focus more on style sheets, more in depth

5/9/2023 37

Providing good foundations in languages now helps make it easy for students to continue w/ new programs

How to start on-line stores, as a data-base driven web site to expand brick/mortar; how to set up on-line credit card transactions. Teach about E-commerce.

Idea to increase visibility/marketing: Have a student-driven site to showcase what students have learned

Weekend courses Emphasize possible opportunity for students who complete this program; help students

learn what possibilities are out there. Tap into high schools to get feel for and encourage interest in this program area Transitions to different products (i.e. programming), focusing more on the client/server

side Teaching more style sheets – upgrading style sheets for today’s societal needs Business aspects of web technologies is greatly needed Evolution of businesses towards E-Commerce is not available at CCC

o Need more e-commerce training Develop more student driven sites for experience Develop a list of students from the program and their present or past employers Work on 2+2 programs with 4 year colleges/universities Assist students with searching for more across country job opportunities in web

technologies Dual enrollment/concurrent courses what is available for them, get their interest up

early Offering of classes to students about to graduate, instead of allowing them to go to

other colleges to get those last few classes. More evening classes v/s day classes to help those trying to work and families. Need more certification classes Offer programming through text based editors (if we are doing that now then continue)-

spend less time teaching development tools(i.e. Dreamweaver etc) Focus on 1 language and teach it well-fundamental understanding of a single language

can translate to other languages Focus effort on teaching e-commerce including a more complete picture of SSL,

Certificates, Shopping Carts, and all the components necessary to convert a "Bricks and Mortar" business to a '"Click to Order" business.

Offer more complex and higher learning classes online and/or at night Prepare students for a non Microsoft World. High probability that students leaving the

field will be working with UNIX and LINUX machines and servers. Develop a means of 'showcasing' students work. Actual examples of what they can

produce.

Threats: Remote area makes it hard to get jobs regardless of education

This field is competitive anywhere Suggestion to students/grads is to take anything you can get just to get foot in

the door E-commerce is way too broad to be truly taught in a reasonable time frame

5/9/2023 38

In general with web tech and CIS, students are prepared for entry level only Economy and job market in general making it difficult for students/grads to find jobs So quick to cancel classes causes students to leave CCC altogether Jobs are not available in the field in this area. Extremely difficult to get your foot in the door Market of this are doesn’t warrant the program/no jobs are available Technology is changing so rapidly Much discussion about the limited number of jobs in the area. Students should be

aware that they may need to travel to another area to get work in the field.

The question was brought up for possible investigation: “Are students starting the program, then dropping out?”

Course Evaluation question "Is this instructor effective in teaching this course?"

Each instructor will have an overall mean score of 4.00 on their course evaluations.

Data was collected from Fall 2007 to Summer 2008.

7 of 8 instructors met the criteria.

The instructor that did not meet the mean score was based on a class population of 5 students, 2 scoring a 5.0, and 2 scoring a 4.0. There was one student who gave a score of 1.0. There is not enough population for this class to determine a true score, nor were there any additional classes that were evaluated for this instructor. Therefore, additional data for the 2008/2009 year will be collected for a comparison for each instructor’s classes.
